Narrative:On June 21, 2011, 0007 eastern daylight time, a Boeing B-757-232, registration number N6714Q, operated by Delta Air Lines (DAL) as flight 1323, and powered by two Pratt & Whitney (P&W) PW2037 turbofan engines, experienced a left engine (No. 1) fire while taking off from Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport (ATL), Atlanta, Georgia. The Captain reported that during gear retraction she observed a small yaw followed a few seconds later, while climbing through 3,000 feet, by a left engine fire indication. The Captain declared an emergency, shutdown the No. 1 engine, and a turnback to ATL was initiated. The airplane made a successful overweight single-engine landing and stopped on runway 26L at ATL, and an emergency evacuation was conducted on the right side of the airplane onto the runway. When the Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) arrived at the airplane, the No. 1 engine was still on fire and they discharged fire retardant agent into the aft end of the engine to put out the fire. Of the 172 passengers and 6 crewmembers on board the flight, three passengers received minor injuries associated with the slide evacuation. The incident flight was a 14 CFR Part 121 domestic passenger flight from ATL to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Los Angeles, California.
